Galera Cluster is now available as targeted packages and package repositories for a number of Linux distributions, including Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, CentOS, OpenSUSE and SLES. Obtaining packages using a package repository removes the need to download individual files and facilitates the deployment andupgrade of Galera nodes.

RELEASE NOTES

New features and notable changes in MySQL-wsrep since last binary release by Codership (5.5.37):

– The wsrep_causal_reads variable has been deprecated. A new variable, wsrep_sync_wait, has been introduced to allow causal checks to be specified separately for selects, updates and inserts (lp:1277053)

– improved support for distributions based on the .deb package format, such as Ubuntu

Notable bug fixes in MySQL-wsrep:

– getifaddr() rather than ifconfig is used to detect the IP of the node, resulting in better compatibility with newer Linux distributions (codership/mysql-wsrep#45) .

– Table administration commands such as CHECK TABLE are now replicated (lp:1046726)
